Douluo Dragon King: The stars of the heavens, transform me into king!

The Soul-Guided High-Speed ​​Train from Donghai City to Mingdu was cutting through the twilight at an astonishingly steady speed, heading towards the western part of the continent and slowly entering the territory of Guyue Xingyan.

The sleek, silver-gray body casts a long shadow in the setting sun.

Inside carriage number one, the seats are spacious with greater spacing, making it extremely comfortable.

Wu Changkong sat by the aisle, dressed in white, with his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.

The setting sun cast a warm glow on his cold profile through the viewing window, and his fingertips tapped lightly, as if he had something urgent on his mind.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie sat in two seats inside. Tang Wulin was by the window, his face pressed against the glass, his gaze following the rapidly receding scenery outside, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Tang Wulin never expected that he would leave the East Sea in the blink of an eye and head to Mingdu, the research center for Soul Guidance Technology.

Xie Xie, however, was restless, looking around with great interest in the luxurious decorations and furnishings of the carriage, and occasionally whispering something to Tang Wulin.

Suddenly, a train conductor walked up from the front of the train. She was a woman wearing a crisp dark blue uniform and a boat-shaped hat. She slowly walked into the carriage.

With a professional smile on her face and a steady gait, she began to check the tickets and identity information of the first-class passengers one by one.

When she reached Wu Changkong's row, her smile seemed even more formal, because Soul Masters now had special access. In case something unexpected happened on the train…

"Verification confirmed, have a pleasant journey." The train conductor nodded slightly and handed the ticket back.

She turned and left, heading straight for the automatic door connecting to carriage number two.

The door opened silently, and she stepped inside. The automatic door slowly closed, blocking her receding figure.

The carriage returned to silence, with only a few soft conversations remaining.

But the tranquility did not last long, as a piercing scream from a woman suddenly erupted from the direction of carriage number two.

"ah--!!!"

Before the words had even faded, everyone in carriage number one suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of carriage number two.

Tang Wulin abruptly turned his head from the window, a bad premonition rising in his heart. Xie Xie's pupils contracted slightly, a hint of fear in his eyes.

Even Wu Changkong, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them the instant the scream rang out.

All that remained in his eyes was coldness and sharpness.

The scream lasted only a moment before abruptly stopping, as if forcibly cut off by some force.

Instead, there was an even more chilling silence.

Only the train continued its journey, carrying an ominous air, heading towards Mingdu.

An atmosphere of unease spread rapidly throughout the carriage, like ink dripping into clear water.

Immediately afterwards, a piercing soul-guided alarm sounded, and red warning lights flashed incessantly, their crimson light casting a chilling light that filled everyone with dread.

The deputy train conductor's anxious voice came over the loudspeaker.

"Emergency! Carriage number two is under attack! The attacker is suspected to be... an evil spirit master! Requesting immediate assistance from spirit master passengers on the train! Repeat, requesting assistance! Non-combat personnel, please remain seated and do not move!"

The words "evil spirit master" struck the hearts of everyone present like ice picks, and panic instantly turned into suppressed gasps.

Wu Changkong had already stood up, his tall figure shielding Tang Wulin and Xie Xie behind him. He turned and said, "Stay in your positions. No matter what you hear or see, don't move. The rest..."

He paused, giving them a reassuring look.

"Leave it all to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and stepped to the connecting area between the carriages. The automatic door opened, and a rusty smell wafted out.

He walked in expressionlessly.

The door closed behind me, and a stronger, sweeter scent wafted in, an indescribable aroma filling my nostrils.

The scene in carriage number two instantly came into his view.

The once tidy carriage has been transformed into a living hell.

The lights flickered on and off, illuminating those gaunt, strangely shaped bodies.

In the center of the carriage stood a figure with bloodshot eyes and a face full of pleasure.

He wore a tattered gray robe, his body was hunched over, and his exposed skin was covered with eerie purplish-black patterns. At his feet, two yellow, two purple, and four black spirit rings pulsed menacingly, emanating an ominous aura.

The spiderwebs on his back gleamed with a purplish-black sheen, and the compound eyes on his face gleamed with greed and cruelty.

This is actually an evil spirit master with a human-faced spider martial spirit.

The train conductor beneath his feet turned as pale as paper, a large amount of his life force being drained away by the other party, and the evil spirit master let out a strange "hehehe" sound.

Upon seeing this scene, Wu Changkong's eyes turned icy cold, and his right hand was already clenched loosely, with faint blood-red frost flowers visible in the air.

The next instant, his body suddenly lit up, his forehead, shoulders, chest, elbows, wrists, palms, waist, hips, knees, and soles of his feet.

Pieces of battle armor adhered to his body, white armor with silver patterns.

This is the Heavenly Ice Battle Armor. He has been in seclusion for many years, and his battle armor has not been upgraded. However, his soul power is not only as high as in the original story. With his talent, if he does not neglect his cultivation, he is already a quasi-titled Douluo. He only needs a suitable soul spirit to become a true titled Douluo.

"die!"

With a single word uttered, Wu Changkong clenched his right hand towards the void. A burst of icy air erupted, and a longsword, its entire body ice-blue and its blade sculpted from black ice, materialized out of thin air. The moment the sword was drawn, the carriage was covered in white frost.

The sword flashed, and a cold, sharp light suddenly pierced towards the evil soul master's throat.

The sword light was as fast as lightning. In an instant, the evil soul master let out a strange cry, and the two spider spears on his back crossed to block, and the purple-black light shone brightly.

"clang--!"

The sharp clang of metal clashing broke the eeriness of the carriage.

Thick ice instantly formed on the spider spear, and the evil soul master was forced back by the immense force, his eyes filled with horror as he cried out in resentment, "Even the great sea god has forgiven my sins, so why are you killing me?!"

"Forgiving you as the sea god is one thing, but I must send you to see the sea god!"

Wu Changkong was not surprised by this. Nowadays, evil soul masters seem to have started talking about the Sea God all the time.

Of course, all of this is thanks to Gu Yuexingyan's "casual" suggestion to the Underworld Emperor that was a terrible idea. Since then, the style of evil soul masters has changed!

The evil spirit master hadn't expected his opponent to be so calm. The dark purple two-word battle armor on his body appeared, and his gaze swept across the window. He knew that if he confronted the opponent head-on, he would surely die.

His face hardened, and he decided to take the entire train down with him.

He instantly changed tactics, launched an attack on the carriage, and prepared to evacuate the area.

"Don't even think about it."

Wu Changkong's voice was icy, and his sword aura suddenly changed. The light unfolded, transforming into a dense and continuous ice wall, blocking the evil soul master's retreat.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Sizzle—!"

The two clashed again, with Wu Changkong's figure flashing and maneuvering within the limited space. Clearly, killing an evil soul master completely was not that simple.

Moreover, since the other party is determined to escape, they are even more constrained at every turn.

Just as the evil spirit master was about to break through the train and cause an even greater disaster, starlight shone in the sky, illuminating the carriages.
